Aggression vs. assertion

http://psychcentral.com/library/id129.html
It seems to me possible that participants in this or any group could
express their own convictions with confidence, without challenging
others in a confrontational way or making disparaging remarks about
them. It is definitely possible for someone to be consistently
aggressive in behavior and motive without being consciously aware of
it; hence having *intentions* that are not aggressive. But the
above link provides a fairly reliable explanation of how to
recognize aggressive behavior. It's a real problem here, especially
IMO the pattern of "calling out" listmembers with repeated posts
using their names in the header.
